The drugs commonly used in epidural anesthesia are bupivicaine (Marcaine, Sensorcaine); chloroprocaine (Nesacaine); and lidocaine (Xylocaine).

Of those mentioned, my research tells me that Lidocaine can cause false positives, because it is distantly related to Cocaine. (but I haven't found information on the other drugs listed).

On the cheaper, non-certified drug tests, false positives are known to occur anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

There are actually quite a few discussion threads on this topic floating around the internet. I hope the information above helps!

There are new epidurals that are morphine based. I had one on 3/26 when i had a csection. So yes, there are morphine based epidurals. I also had to take a drug test right after surgery and failed because of this. It took the anestisiologist explaining what was in the epidural for me to not have my kids takenaway and me thrown in jail.
